Not sure what to make of that. I think I'd expect, if I was one of the police, to say hand yourself in with no conditions you've broken the law?!?! :79:

It's a little bit bizarre isn't it. I just loved the fact he turned up with the donuts.

Yeah, it's a really strange one. Social media... who knows where it will end! lol

Can't decide if this was smart by the police or just wrong!

Yeah, genius or worrying???

I'm not 100% it's not a con to be fair.
